Bringing You the Latest Buzz from Grace Fellowship

Pastor's Pen
Most of us wish we were better at sharing our faith. Many of us shy away from evangelism, saying, "That's just not something I'm good at." I have often contended that we make things too difficult.
What if it's as simple as this prayer: "God, I won't keep your goodness a secret!" Too often, we only celebrate the goodness of God in our hearts and minds. What could happen in your family and among your friends if you shared the mercies of God generously? I would suggest that keeping the goodness of God never far from our lips could make a huge difference in the present generation and generations to come.
Psalm 78:4,6
We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.
Can’t wait to share part 3 of Stitched Up with you this weekend.
Current Series
Join us for "Stitched Up." While sins are forgiven, wounds often remain. In this series of talks, we will learn how the Lord desires to stitch up our wounds.

Equip 2024 - "But the Church Prayed"
Get a Head Start:
One of the seminars this year is "Destined for the Throne'" based on the book by the same name written by Paul Billhiemer. It would be helpful to have read the book prior to taking the class. Pastor Paul says, "Destined for the Throne" is one of the most influential books in his life.
If you want to get a head start on Equip, we have loaner books at the Information Table in the foyer. Leave your name to check it out, read it, and bring it back no later than one month.

Campus Update
“One Miracle at a Time”
The testimony is unfolding.
Grace purchased the Cemetery Creek Property, acquiring 5.5 acres of the 9.5, initially based on three contingencies:
Congregational approval
Core samples suitable for building
City approval for zoning
God miraculously provided the additional 4 acres through vision and generosity:
A fun-filled Mexican Fiesta dinner auction raised $27,000.
Gold and coins were donated.
A $400,000 Matching Grant was fulfilled, doubling to $800,000.
The Strengthen Our Hands to Build Campaign has steadily grown, culminating in $3.1 million to launch construction, with each small miracle adding up.
Another matching grant of $48,000, matched weekly, will reach $96,000.
Currently, the Building Task Team is finalizing revised plans, with bids due in four weeks.
One sub-contractor has stepped forward that they want to help.
Little and big miracles, one at a time.
We have been told moving dirt could still happen in 2024! Stay tuned…..
